Few cars are as instantly recognisable as the R-Type Fastback Continental. Viewed by many as a true collectors item, this beautifully presented example was restored by P&A Wood, and is a multiple concours-winner.Despite its name, the two-door Continental was produced principally for the UK domestic market and just 208 were built. Like many hand-crafted, coachbuilt cars of the period, the chassis were produced at the Rolls-Royce Crewe factory and shared many components with the standard R-Type. Coachwork for the majority of cars was completed by H. J. Mulliner & Co. of Chiswick, with most orders being for the Fastback Coupé (Design number-7277). A distinctive style of coachwork, the lightweight aluminium, wind-tunnel developed fastback from Mulliner, focussed strongly on keeping weight to a minimum in order to maximise power and performance.The early cars were powered by, essentially the same engine as the standard R-Type but with modified carburation, induction and exhaust manifolds along with higher gear ratios and consequently the R-Type Continental became the first British four-seat sports coupé capable of speeds of up to 120mph. The A, B and C Series cars were fitted with 4.5-litre engines that displaced 4,566cc and produced 158bhp and, when mated to a manual gearbox, the result was a potent continental cruiser or surprisingly docile and manageable city charger.On offer here, BC68C is indeed fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and is surely one of the finest R-Type Continentals in existence today. As is often the case with Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars from this era, factory and owner's records are well kept and, in this case, an exceptionally complete set of history files goes right back to the beginning of the car's life and confirms that, for the most part, it was exclusively maintained by Official Rolls-Royce and Bentley Agents including an engine rebuild in 1984 by renowned specialist PJ Fischer. H.P. Arnett & Son, Official Agents (latterly Arnetts of Bournemouth) carried out all maintenance until 1965 and then it was sent to the Central London Factory Service Centre until 1970. Caffyns, again Official Agents, took over maintenance at that point until 1982 followed by PJ Fischer and specialists until P & A Wood, Official Agents again, took over the car’s care in 1993.By 1999, BC68C was starting to look a little jaded, and the decision was made to commence a cosmetic tidy. The work was entrusted to world-renowned specialists, P&A Wood, and took a couple of years. As is often the case with cars of this nature, a gentle refresh escalated into a complete cosmetic rebuild between 1999 and 2001 when the bodywork was taken back to bare metal, laboriously prepared and fully repainted in numerous coats of a glorious deep blue. All the brightwork was re-chromed, the engine bay painted and detailed and the interior was retrimmed in grey leather with matching carpets, the steering wheel refurbished and the veneers, dashboard, gauges and cabin furniture all returned to a superb standard.The quality of this work was such that, between 2003 and 2007, the car was entered in a number of Concours d'Elegance events with much success, particularly at the Autoglym Regional Concours Events - when it won on each occasion and was invited to the National Grand Finals held at the NEC. The Bentley was also voted 'Car of the Show' at the Meguiars Classic Car Show at the Alexandra Palace in 2006. Even at the Annual Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts National Rally at Kellmarsh Hall, surrounded by other splendidly restored Rolls-Royce and Bentleys, the R-Type finished either first or second in Class in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and was 'Elegance' Winner in 2008 and second in Class overall in 2007 and 2009.Since 2011, this important Bentley has been part of two major collections and has covered very few miles in that time, however it has recently enjoyed a few outings with one of our directors, appears in our website opening video, and attracted a number of admirers at the very recent Salon Privé in Chelsea.Here at Silverstone Auctions, we have offered three of these rare Fastback Continentals in the last few years, all guided in excess of £900,000 so this fabulous example seems very sensibly positioned at £600,000 to £700,000. Naturally, we welcome and encourage your close inspection of this venerable Continental.We leave the last word to Autosport’s inimitable John Bolster. Writing in 1958, Bolster noted that the Continental was a classical design that achieved a high degree of excellence by sheer quality of construction: "In doing so, it develops an individuality, a character, call it what you will, that makes it entirely different from any other marque. The man who drives a Continental lives in an enchanted world, for everybody calls him ‘sir’ and he may park where other lesser cars may never tread." Despite the passage of more than 60 years, Bolster’s words ring every bit as true today as they did then.SpecificationMake: BENTLEYModel: R-TYPE CONTINENTALYear: 1954Chassis Number: BC68CRegistration Number: OYN 3Transmission: ManualEngine Number: BCC67Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlueClick here for more details and images

ABERDEEN - A SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL DESK SEAL A MID-18TH-CENTURY WOODEN AND SILVER DESK SEAL the wooden baluster handle with flat terminal, to a silver mounted collar marked ABD, the integral matrix engraved with the armorial, possibly for the Houston familyDimensions:Length: 52mm, matrix: 20mm x 13mmProvenance:Provenance:‘Silver, The Aberdeen Story’, Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums 2012, item 192, catalogue page 169Matrix: A Collection of British Seals - David Morris 2012- seal 25, page 68Note: Note:This fine mid-18th-century desk seal appears to be the earliest marked Aberdeen example. Frustratingly, with only the town mark, ascribing a maker is virtually impossible. The quality of the silver mount and finely engraved armorial, coupled with the status of the client who commissioned the piece, shows its original importance. This type of client would likely have frequented only the most respected Aberdeen makers. Looking at the style and shape of the town punch, it does seem likely it belonged to either Coline Allan or one of his contemporaries, such as George Robertson.
